This is what it takes for art to make the mass media in New Zealand... artists that spin with flair and get their projects on air, are few. One of recent note, is Wellington artist James R Ford.
James' Primera Disaster: Smash 'n' Tag project was on... 3 News, 1 News, Radio Active, three other radio stations I can't remember the name of (including live feeds), Dominion Post twice, including a full feature and image on the front page, and Breakfast with Paul Henry. Catch a glimpse from this mass of coverage, here. Artists like James should be giving guest lectures in NZ art schools.
